Join ADH’D’er, Dr Mine Conkbayir MBE & husband, the BAFTA award winning comedy actor Paul Whitehouse (Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, The Fast Show, Death Of Stalin) as they explore neurodiversity with an eclectic mix of ADHDers, Autists, Dyslexics and specialists. Given the recent ‘explosion’ in diagnoses, particularly in the world of comedy, Paul Whitehouse represents the archetypal sceptic. He’s there to challenge the very concept of ADHD. Dr Mine provides theoretical and research insights, counter arguments and her own lived experience, creating a conversational and highly accessible space to explore this much misunderstood topic. Each episode they chat to a guest who shares their experience of being neurodivergent, whether from the point of view of being diagnosed themselves, curious about the workings of their own brain, or as as specialist in the field. This multi award winning podcast has featured fellow ADHDer guests such as Sir Stephen Fry, Robbie Williams, Helen George, Armando Iannucci, Lee Mack, Shaparak Khorsandi, Shaun Ryder, Hannah Botterman, Goldie and many more.
